Dwálin the Wise (Del."Dawdler") was one of the seven fathers of the Khazâd. He awoke, with his friend Úri, in Zirakbhund (Mallost), in the northern Ered Luin. He was also known as Lindormursbani, although this Name was applied to him after his sixth Awakening as Dwálin VI, a great Dragon-Warrior. His far-sighted neutrality in the conflict between his brothers of the Firebeards and the Elves of Menegroth also earned him his epithet the Wise. Dwálin was also known as Linnar (a short-form of Lindormursbáni) or Lennar among the Lossoth.
